You aren't able to benefit from the teachings and insights of others, in the body of Christ, some of which are sorely needed in the LC.

It keeps you so cloistered within its system so that you are unable to make any assessment of what you are taught, or of how you are treated within. Meaning you are forced to accept everything they put on you, weather good or harmful. Yes, it opens the way to remove protections over your life that the law of the land provides. Whenever that happens, it's always bad.

What they are robbing from the saints in the LSM LC, is, critical self thinking.
